Blastomycosis in a free ranging lone Wolf, Canis lupus, on the north shore of Lake Superior, Ontario

Abstract

An adult male Wolf was trapped and radio-collared in 1994 on the north shore of Lake Superior, Ontario. He left his former pack in the same year and was nomadic until his death in 1996. The cause of death was determined to be blastomycosis, a fungal infection uncommon in the area.
